We needed the same thing last week. The company that built the software (IAstyle, http://www.iastyle.com) got bought by HTC recently, and it doesn't look like they'll be selling much any time soon.

and one would resell or offer this api? it will help a lot the comunity

Uhh I NEED THAT too
If anybody sdk or any clue how internaly camera comunicates... (does it use direct show system?)
LET ME KNOW pls!
I will try to use classic trick by capturing screen buffer while picture soft is running...
then my soft will put it to jpg remove jpg header and in sequence it will send it to my video stream server which then distributs it on broadband computer to more users which they will see something like this http://spaced.no-ip.com
however camera has 1 bug its picking up GSM-GPRS signal induction lines... anyway there is always way around it.[/quote]

i need the camera specification, to caputure images using my application. But there's no way for achieving this information.
please, if someone have the idea or where i can ask for....

do you think that these drivers will work on an xda2?

Anyway to adjust camera LED flash?

I know, I know, if i want good photos, use a real camera. BUT, if I'm gonna have a phone with a camera and flash, I'd at least like the F'n thing to be usable. Taking pics with the flash is mostly worthless. 8 times out of 10 the LED flash washes out the subject (see attached). Is there an app/hack/kernel that allows us to adjust this?

So far am not having any issue with the flash/Cam. have you disable the flash and then try again?
BTW: Unable to view your link, got this error: Invalid Attachment specified.

Only a hack solution so far...use scotch tape to diffuse the light. I agree that the flash should be controllable. I am learning as fast as I can...camera and mms are two that do not seem to get lots of interest...so someone new will have to learn and dig into them.

Trying to modify Camera.so to bring back some 1.2 functionality

Been a lot of complaints on other forums about the crippled camera app in bada 2.0 and I'd like to restore some of the fuctionality from 1.2. Perhaps it's not actually possible as all I have seen is the KK5 app brought back to enable front camera, and no 1.2 app for bada 2.0 to restore some of the other missing functions like pause in video recording or editing options. So if this is waste of time please let me know, but I though the main problem was passing the sequrity check which has now been solved thanks to kubika. SO if possible this is the precise scope of the project:
It's not just the ability to pause a video recording, or edit anything after, there's a lot of other stuff too...
NO Image Quality selection
NO countinous/sequance shoot mode
NO sharpness, saruration, contrast adjustment... but still have auto contrast check box... as oppesed to what?!?!?
NO thumbnail or info view for picture when reviewing from cammera app
NO edit fuction for anything from anywhere as already mentioned... though admittedly if I really want to edit a pic I'll probably do it on my PC anyway.
Although a noob at this I do have some expeciance with PC's, and my understanding is that bada apps are in C++ so if one can decompile and recompile the camera app. Then ALL missing functions, with possible exception of editing that probably calls on seperate app, should be easily recoverable in the bada 2.0 camera app. I've actually checked the samsung developer website, and it gives guidelines on how to implemnet many of these functions if whishing to create your own app, so the code should be easy to reinsert even for me in their own app. The one problem may be creating/inserting buttons/tiles for the menus if not already available but simply uncalled, which I hope is actually the case since one can easily recover the record call button.
The main issue is I don't know how to decompile the two apps to read and compare the code, and then recompile them, so could someone please point me to the appropriate program(s) with hopefuly some instructions on how to use them. I think this is something that may be appreciated by many since we can now more easily upload modified apps, and is a relatively simple mod for a noob to atempt... so if anyone can offer some help with that to get me started, it's a project I'd be looking to take up .

liked your idea.

to keep it simple, you can't 'decompile' a binary code to a c++ code, the compiling process is a one-way procedure..

Any way to remove “adding finishing details” post processing on Windows 10 Camera app

Hi, I wanna ask is there any of you here know any hack, Interop app tools tweaks or any settings, even on when you’re only Interop Unlocked or jailbroken your Windows phone to disable that pesky “Adding finishing details” which is basically post processing the images, not just ruins it but also slows the process of taking pictures. Because of that, you’ll end up with “Saving…” message on your Windows 10 Camera app on 10 pictures straight you taken, you can’t take unlimited pictures.
Here's some pictures to tell you how it really ruins the pictures. The first every photo is what after the photo is taken, the post processing is still loaded, but basically a screenshot of the screen. It’s almost as good as what really the camera is seeing. The second ones are after the post processing.
Btw. I’m using a Lumia 830 and the very latest build available for it. Yes I got the most recent and latest Camera app update on mine, I dunno but I really think an app update after are what starts ruining the images here, I’m really sure this “Finishing details” aint here before Microsoft implemented this half bakedly, my phone aint shooting pictures this bad. The camera aint that really bad, it’s just the post processing that ruins it. It’s annoying and unacceptable. I can’t file this on Feedback Hub and ask for a fix, since I can’t get any newer updates since Insider Preview ditched my model already on Insider Preview. So please help me fix this the hard way.
Please help me remove this pesky process if it’s possible. I don’t’ want to use a third party app since no other 3rd party camera app has integration with Photos app, aint got Panorama feature, and I don’t want to screenshot every other photo I’ve taken after just to preserve that details.

i had this too on my lumia 830(same issue, was having nice pictures until the final postprocessing). you will need to tweak the camera on interop tools, im on latest stable build(not insider) and it works no prob on mine, so i guess it should be fine on yours too.
once you get ur lumia rooted,access local machine->software->oem->nokia->camera->barc->isenabled
just set the reg value to 0. this will disable postprocessing after you took your pic, will also save your file faster.
if you want the postprocessing back for some reason, just revert the value to 1.

Please teach me: HDR algorithm port

Excuse me for asking a silly question.
Just wondering, how difficult is it to reverse engineer the HDR algorithm used in the Pixel camera app?
Is the algorithm itself is embed within encrypted codes to prevent reverse engineering?
(I guess in this case, ported camera apps all just copy and paste the code?)
Or can we actually look at the algorithm if we open the app on a developer platform?
I'm not trying to develop an app, just more general question because I see many manufactures are not quite catching up with Google HDR and wondering why...

port
You can extract the apk and copy the code and build it in your own app or if you want, You can help me develop my rom which can have the HDR algorithm and many more thing.
If you want to contact me you can post anything on the post mentioned below with the link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...e-ui-rom-google-pixel-3-t3954765#post80019412

Ugh.. Sorry I'm not a developer myself. I'd love to help as much tho...

You can download and install RAR and then press the .. button and press it again and copy everything to your download folder and upload everything to mega and tell me your mega account

Did you ever get the ROM going?

I suspect that a lot of the camera processing algorithms used are made with high-perf compiled languages, such as C++, making reverse-engineering quite difficult (but definitely possible). Many of the gcam ports take the original app and make edits, for new UI features or editing libs for features such as contrast. I'm not sure if Google obfuscates their code to protect their intellectual property.
(there is a chance that I am wrong, but simply "copy and pasting" HDR code will definitely not work to create a new app that is separate from GCAM)
